Welcome to the Party

Hats off to the Tampa Bay Rays, who made it into the post-season for the first time in franchise history. They dropped the "Devil" from their name, and the monkey off their backs.

A hundred years ago in the preseason, Scott Kazmir said they were good enough to play in October. Everyone laughed. Who's laughing now?

Last year, they were the worst team in baseball. Now they're in the show. It doesn't get any better than that for a team fighting for respect.
